Calling All Lovers: I Love New York Wants To Share Your Story on Film

Ultimate New York Romance Stories SoughtNew York, N.Y. - Romance in New York has been captured in countless Hollywood productions. Now, amateur filmmakers can have their love immortalized with I LOVE NEW YORK's new competition to discover the best New York State love story. I LOVE NEW YORK (http://www.iloveny.com/), New York State's tourism promotion agency, and New York University's Tisch Graduate School of Film are collaborating to sponsor a team of New York University (NYU) filmmakers to produce a movie about "Love in New York."
To identify the best "Love in New York" story for NYU's film producers, the Empire State has created a contest asking New Yorkers to share details on how the state played a role in meeting and falling in love with their significant other. Love story submissions can be unusual, funny, weird, romantic, and more, as long as encounters took place in New York State. Five love stories will be chosen and winning stories will be incorporated into a film promoting I LOVE NEW YORK and featured online at http://www.iloveny.com/.
The submission deadline is April 1, 2010. To enter, contest participants must present a short video link (five minutes or less), or a brief essay with images to nylovestories@gmail.com .
